Callum Lea

Hello, my name is Callum and I’m a compassionate trainee counsellor working towards my CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can explore whatever brings you to counselling, whether that’s a specific challenge or a more general sense that things don’t feel quite right. 

As a Person-Centred counsellor, my practice is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine belief in each person’s capacity for growth. I value the importance of working at your pace and recognise that support looks different for everyone, whether short-term or longer-term. 

My approach is rooted in person-centred values, combining compassion with gentle structure to support you in exploring your experiences, strengthening resilience, and moving towards personal growth. I aim to work collaboratively with you in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering—helping you find clarity and move forward in a way that feels right for you. 

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and someone who lives with a long-term health condition, I have developed a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological impact of navigating complex life experiences. Through this, I have developed a strong capacity for empathy and acceptance, alongside a commitment to creating an authentic space where you feel seen, heard, and valued without judgment.

Facilitating peer support spaces have provided me with experiences that have strengthened my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and support individuals in building resilience and self-understanding. I advocate for improved wellbeing, access to support and inclusion for individuals with complex needs. Affordable Talk’s commitment to providing accessible, client-led support aligns strongly with my core values as a counsellor.
